The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Lin Daiyu showed a strange expression when she heard this question.

"But what happened to Miss Xue?" Lin Mingyu didn't urge her, but turned her mind around and guessed.

Lin Daiyu nodded, with a hint of unbearable expression on her face: "Miss Xue may be leaving the palace." Looking at Lin Mingyu's face listening carefully, Lin Daiyu told him the whole story in detail.

Concubine Xian is pregnant, which is a major event in the palace, so naturally she can no longer do such mind-consuming tasks as abbot drafting.Concubine Xian was named concubine with talent and virtue, and she did not rely on pampering. She repeatedly stated in front of the queen that she was in good health, and she was not that delicate even when she was pregnant. .His words and deeds with a deep understanding of righteousness won the appreciation of the palace, and even the dissatisfaction the queen had with her was dispelled by this move.

From the Queen's point of view, Concubine Xian's words were implying to her that even if she was pregnant and had a son in the future, she would still stand by the Queen's side.You know, there are so many talented women in the palace, and many of them are beauties from famous families. Jia Yuanchun was able to defeat countless opponents and become a concubine proudly.

The queen is the birth mother of King Yizhong, and King Yizhong is the most popular heir candidate in the dynasty.The emperor is old and has few heirs. Logically speaking, it is difficult to have any more heirs. Moreover, the harem is never a clean place. The reason why the empress can sit in this position is not a truly kind person.She naturally has the means to control the number of heirs in the harem. However, under such circumstances, Jia Yuanchun can still successfully conceive a dragon vein. How can the queen be happy!

Jia Yuanchun was well aware of this, knowing that he was pregnant, he deliberately chose a time when the queen was present, and inadvertently let the imperial physician announce it.He immediately expressed his willingness to be loyal to the queen, so he was not afraid of the queen.

Even so, no matter how humble a concubine is pregnant, the empress can't bear it.Therefore, with the consent of the empress and queen mother, the matter of the draft was handed over to Concubine Rong.Jia Yuanchun was safe from miscarriage, but the queen had her own plans in mind.

In fact, the re-selection for the second round of the draft has almost been carried out in the hands of Jia Yuanchun.As the concubine's daughter of the head of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yingchun lost the election for no reason, but Jia Tanchun, the second concubine's concubine, was assigned to the queen mother's palace instead.Even Xue Baochai, who was born in a merchant, was able to serve the queen. I really don't know how this result came about.

Although Jia Yuanchun let go, the whereabouts of the beautiful women have basically been decided, and there is not much to do with Concubine Rong.What Concubine Rong can do is to take over the teaching of Xiu Nu, and in the final election held a month later, it is finally decided whether Xiu Nu will stay or not.Generally speaking, at this point, the result is no different from multiple selection.

Xue Baochai is a well-rounded and well-rounded person, and he has already won the hearts of the people when he was in Rongguo Mansion.Bringing this set to the harem has some effect.At least, Jia Yuanchun was optimistic about her first.When Mrs. Wang entered the palace, she often praised this aunt and niece. She was beautiful, smart, and the family had a rich fortune.If it weren't for her low birth, Mrs. Wang would have asked her to be her daughter-in-law.It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is a high-minded person. In her mind, Jia Baoyu is beautiful, like the essence of heaven and earth in one, and she has to choose a lady from a famous family to match her.She still doesn't like Xue's family status.

Jia Yuanchun also had the same thought. Of course, she thought more deeply than Mrs. Wang, especially after she became pregnant.Although Xue Baochai is not worthy of being his sister-in-law, if he uses it well, it is good to train him to be a helper.

With this in mind, Jia Yuanchun arranged her next to the queen.Hearing from Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother, as well as from the ten days of contact, Jia Yuanchun believed that Xue Baochai was a smart person who knew how to advance and retreat, and could see the situation clearly.After a little hint from her, Xue Baochai successfully became the reserve female officer next to the queen.

Although Jia Yuanchun felt that she had successfully appeased the queen, she was a cautious person who took everything into consideration. After placing an eyeliner beside the queen, she finally felt relieved.

As expected, in just three days, Xue Baochai performed outstandingly and won the empress's favor. She appointed a competent nun to teach her personally.Jia Yuanchun couldn't help feeling that his face was bright.Everything went so smoothly, it was as if God was giving the Jia family a chance.In front of the Empress Dowager, although Tanchun did not fall into the eyes of the master as quickly as Xue Baochai, he still earned a place.

Jia Yuanchun thought about Jia Baoyu's future while raising the baby.Unexpectedly, the days of peace of mind were only a few days, and then something happened.

As in the past, at every moment of greeting, Jia Yuanchun, with the support of the close maid Baoqin, carefully came to the queen's palace. Of course, before entering the palace, Baoqin automatically retreated and followed her one step behind. , the master and the servant met the queen humbly and gracefully.

After inviting Ann, Yuan Chun started talking and laughing with the Queen about interesting things.

After talking for a while, Yuan Chun suddenly found that Xue Baochai, who had been serving the queen for the past two days, was nowhere to be seen today, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled.After observing the queen's expression, she didn't seem to be dissatisfied with herself, so Yuan Chun boldly inquired about Baochai with a calm expression.

The queen seemed to be waiting for her to speak. Jia Yuanchun only mentioned it lightly, and the queen answered: "The girl named Baochai you chose is really good. I remembered it when you mentioned it. Yesterday After coming down to court, the emperor suddenly came over to me, and his face was not very good. The whole palace was afraid to come forward to serve, and I happened to speak in front of the queen mother. After hearing the report from the little eunuch, I hurried back to the palace, I was worried that the emperor would get angry, but I didn't want to. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I heard the emperor's laughter. When I saw the emperor, the emperor was talking to Baochai in a pleasant manner, and laughed from time to time. Concubine Xian, what do you say Tell me, isn't this girl a sweetheart?"

The queen praised Xue Baochai with a smile. Yuan Chun should have been happy, but when she heard it, her heart sank.Jia Yuanchun was considered a seasoned man in the palace, no matter how thoughtful he was, he still looked like a normal person on the surface, instead he took the opportunity to praise the queen again, flattering the queen with joy.

The queen took Yuan Chun's plump, white and tender hands, and patted them affectionately, with an indescribable kindness and gentleness in her voice, and said with a smile: "You are a good man. Since you are by my side, I trust you very much. Now You have ruined Long Er, the emperor has only one concubine Rong who can talk, and I feel uneasy. The emperor is busy with government affairs day and night, and concubine Rong is a flower of interpretation, and there are places that cannot be taken care of. How about adding A young beauty who knows how to be considerate is placed beside the emperor, to spend more time with the emperor on behalf of you and me, and to be able to relieve one or two worries is also our blessing. What do you think?"

This is clearly to let Xue Baochai take over!Jia Yuanchun had countless waves in her heart, but no matter how she thought about it, this was not the result of her original idea.She wants to cultivate a helper, but definitely not to cultivate an opponent who can compete.How she became pregnant, I know best, Xue Baochai is so youthful and beautiful, coupled with her scheming... Jia Yuanchun absolutely does not want his position as the son in the womb to be threatened by any possible threat.

But can she disobey the queen's order?Even if the queen's attitude is good now, it is because Xue Baochai is recommended by herself, and the queen will never allow herself to have a different heart.

Knowing this, Jia Yuanchun could only suppress the impatience in his heart, and flirted with the queen.Seeing that the queen's decision could not be shaken, Jia Yuanchun found a reason to resign quickly.

Seeing her gracefully leaving figure, the queen narrowed her eyes slightly.Concubine Xian is a smart person, no matter whether she is loyal or not, it is necessary to beat her up all the time.Although the queen is old and has done a lot of intrigue, she is always vigilant.She summoned her confidant nanny and explained her arrangement in detail.

There are many etiquettes that need to be learned again for the women who are arranged to serve the emperor.

Besides, when Jia Yuanchun returned to the bedroom, he couldn't feel at ease after thinking about it, so he called his confidant maid to hold the piano and gave him such orders.At noon that day, all the palaces were on lunch break, a young girl in palace attire was led by Baoqin, and entered Xianfei's bedroom calmly and low-key.

Concubine Xian leaned on the gold-thread-embroidered peony pillow, critically looking at the girl in front of her.I saw her snow-skinned and tender, with elegant eyebrows and plump body, although she is not very old, but there is a different kind of charming style in her youthfulness, her grace and demeanor are not inferior to that of a famous lady, she is indeed a wonderful woman.

When Xue Baochai was summoned, from the low-key behavior of holding the piano, he guessed that this visit to see the concubine Xian must be something unusual. Once again, the concubine Xian's current expression and attitude made her feel quite frightened, not knowing what she did not do Well, make her dissatisfied with herself.

A girl in her prime, every frown and smile is like a delicate flower, and every time she sways, she has a kind of delicate style. If a man sees it, he may find it pleasing to the eye.But in the eyes of Yuan Chun now, it is dazzling in every possible way.

After chilling her for a while, Jia Yuanchun smiled when he saw Xue Baochai's flustered and at a loss, and said softly, "Sister Baochai is welcome, sit down."

Xue Baochai didn't dare to sit still, so she hurriedly flattered her and stood aside respectfully to serve her.

Concubine Xian sat up lazily, and asked Xue Baochai to help her sit in front of the dressing mirror: "I heard from the queen that my sister is skillful and can do many new hairstyles. For this matter, holding the piano is not as good as you, why don't you help me comb it , let Baoqin follow suit."

Baoqin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, I also want to learn from my sister."

Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say that. Your mother is kind, she is holding me. How can my half bucket of water skills compare to my sister's constant service by her side. Who doesn't know, the things in the palace It is the most fashionable, and I also sit in the house, so I can understand what is good. The lady loves me and praises me. I really want to learn from my sister."

Normally, when Xue Baochai said this, Jia Yuanchun felt that she was cautious and not frivolous, but listening to it today, he felt a little disgusted in his heart. "Don't talk too much, let's comb."

Concubine Xian's tone was just lazy, but Xue Baochai didn't dare to say more.

Fingers fluttered deftly, and after a short while, she combed her hair into a gorgeous bun.Jia Yuanchun took photos from left to right, and pointed at all the points: "Look, Baochai has such a clever mind. But, I am old, and I can't compare with you young girls. I think you often wear this hairstyle. , so proficient. It's a pity, such a rich bun, if you combed Baochai, it would definitely be more suitable. Youthful and beautiful, speaking of it, sometimes I really envy you. Serving the emperor, in addition to talent, Looks have to be extraordinary. Sister, do you think this makes sense?"

Xue Baochai was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Your Majesty is very fragrant and beautiful, and has an outstanding demeanor. Baochai's daughter from a small family, how dare you compare them with each other. Moreover, Baochai is very satisfied and grateful for the honor of serving by your side today. Don't worry, I won't come up with other ideas, please learn from your mother."

"Yesterday, the emperor liked you very much. Why bother my sister not to tell the truth in front of me? Is my sister the kind of villain who is jealous? If my sister wants to serve the emperor, even though she is incompetent, she will do her best to make it happen. Why let the queen come?" To mention my sister, it seems that I am not a good concubine."

Xue Baochai was even more frightened. Although she was calm, she was only a ten-year-old girl. In front of her status as a concubine Xian, there was no room for her to resort to means.Kneeling down respectfully, Xue Baochai kowtowed: "Your Majesty, save me. I'm just a merchant's daughter, how dare I have such rebellious thoughts. When I enter the palace, I am willing to run for my Majesty. It will not be in vain for my mother and my aunt to treat me well. I have no virtue and incompetence, how can I want to serve the emperor, because I am stupid, I am afraid that I will anger the emperor, and then damage the reputation of the empress. Please help me find a way to let me be safe Be a female official every minute, and serve your empress!"

Xue Baochai's words made Jia Yuanchun feel a lot better. She didn't believe everything she said, but she was certain that Xue Baochai didn't have the guts to lie to herself.The beating was enough, and Yuan Chun got a satisfactory reply, so he said with a smile: "It's all right, what is my sister doing kneeling. Holding the piano, don't help her up yet."

Holding the piano and supporting Xue Baochai, Yuan Chun stood up, took Xue Baochai's hand, and said gently: "Okay, I understand your heart, you have been out for a long time, go back to the palace quickly, and serve the queen well. "

Xue Baochai said anxiously: "Then what Baochai asked for just now...?"

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "What's the big deal, my sister is also a noble concubine anyway, if my sister doesn't want to fall into this quagmire, I will always find a way to pull you away. You just go, don't talk too much, and don't show up in front of the emperor again." Well, my sister has her own way, but you will know."

Xue Baochai hurriedly saluted and thanked her.

Yuan Chun said: "By the way, I have already taken care of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and told your brother, just do business with peace of mind, and no one in Xue's family can take away the title of Imperial Merchant."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xue Baochai saluted sincerely and fearfully, and was sent away by Yuan Chun.

"Your Majesty, do you just let her go like this?" Baoqin asked worriedly.

"Let her go?" Jia Yuanchun sneered, "Since such a beauty has fallen into the eyes of the emperor, it is always a disaster to keep her by his side. My mother said last time that her brother committed a lawsuit in Jinling, right? ?”

"That's true."

"So, you..." Yuan Chun gave a few words in his ear, listened to the piano, and hurriedly took the order and left.
